EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from 1795 captures a chilling scene of royal recreation during the reign of Catherine II. Seated on her majestic throne, Catherine receives the decapitated heads of the people of Poland from a military officer in charge of the Russian forces. The defeat of the Poles in 1794 is depicted through men bringing baskets overflowing with these gruesome trophies. Intriguingly, nestled in the lower right corner, we find a bust of Charles Fox observing this macabre spectacle over his right shoulder. This engraved image by Isaac Cruikshank showcases his exceptional illustrative technique and offers us a glimpse into history's dark chapters.

It stands as a testament to humanity's capacity for both beauty and brutality, leaving viewers captivated by its historic artistry while also evoking feelings of unease at its subject matter.
